Hi !
Some guys had asked for the chords of this song. Though I do not share the belief of these words.
Cause you see in Ecclesiastes 9:5,6: For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. Their love, their hateand their jealousy
have long since vanished;never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.
But the song is pretty so, hope my transcription is right:
If you could see me now (Jeff Bates)
F C Bb
If you could see me now...you'd see joy and laughter in my eyes
C A4 F C
I'm swinging on a swing set in the sky...No you wouldn't cry
F Bb Am D
If you could see me now...every single tear would be erased
F D A A4 C
By the love that shines on Jesus' face...oh what a place
F Bb D
I never played with my brothers and my sisters in the yard
F Bb Am
I never was rocked to sleep in my mother's arms
F Bb A
But the arms that hold me are the same arms that made me
F Bb C
I know you miss me...I wish you could see your baby.
F
If you could see me now...
Bb Am D
Even though you are looking through a broken heart
C Am A4
You wouldn't bring me back to where you are..
F C
I'm dancing on a star
F
If you could see me now...
C Am D
We're all eating cake and ice cream
F A F
Oops I got some chocolate on my wings
C
It's a party just for me.
F Bb D
Daddy will you read a bedtime story sometimes just for me
F Bb Am
Mama I'll come and see you now and then in your dreams
F Bb A4
So don't waste another moment worrying about what might've been
Bb A7/4
Jesus loves me and you know I'm with Him
F Am
If you could see me now I'd tell you
C D
That you're up here way too soon
F A2
And God still has some things for you to do
CM7 F
And I'll see you when you're through
